yeah it really was strange to see an anime as such again in today's time. As I said already it took me back to the time of the original Dragon Ball.
if you were living under a cave I guess. The show showed promise at the beginning but as more and more episodes passed folks started to realize it was crap and it never reached the highs that folks wanted. It ended up being mediocre with horrible writing.
I watched Aldnoah's first episode only, and I was engaged to watch Kill la Kill so... Yeah, I didn't watch Aldnoah...
I like it enough to watch it to the end. But there's no denying the premise wasn't fulfilled. I wanted underdog tale, Brain vs Brawl, not The Tale of a Cyborg God, a Loser, and a Netorare Princess.

The first few Urobotchi episodes was the only good part. It got worse and worse and worse as it went on. People didn't just decide that they didn't like it on the whim, by the end of S2 people were actively shitting on it. You can just read the OT to see how it developed.

Aldnoah also got tiresome with the amount of torture porn against that one dude.

Durarara is slow and I dropped it 5 episodes in, which is apparently before it takes off.
Aldnoah is dumb, but some people like it.
Seven Deadly Sins is a perfectly acceptable (if not painfully standard) battle shounen series with one exception; the main character molests the female lead frequently and it's completely played for laughs. If you can tolerate that much, you'll find a lot to like about it.

He got
scratched up saving a cat
He was also gonna punch it in the last page until Genos stops him which is hilarious.
Boros should have gotten a participation trophy at the very least. It takes some effort to wipe out a whole city.
Try Robot Girls Z and Sabagebu, maybe it fits you.
Beefcake could do it casually. Boros is stronger, but it's not that hard in this series
seconded, both these shows are insanely funny

Saitama prolonged that entire encounter in an attempt to give Boros the illusion of a real fight. He even threw out halfhearted compliments like, "yeah, you're strong". He barely fought back, only attacked several times, and generally let Boros have his way.

We know that they are adapting (not Madhouse, forgot which studio) Mob Psycho 100, so maybe they will have that run first then have S2 of OPM in the wings so Murata can catch up to ONE.
Mob Psycho 100 definitely has enough content for a 24 episode season, so it could a decent amount of time.

Mob Psycho 100 is Bones and OPM was Madhouse, and things don't really work like that.
He'd have been a jerk if he used his serious punch from the start. Saitama at least played with him for a bit.
Also, may have been posted in this thread before but...

don't even remind me about charlotte. Outside of the issues with the rest of the episodes, the whole last episode could've been a second cour
How about no? Everybody who asks in AnimeGAF for recommendations leaves satisfied, how about not making blanket statements?
An episode synopsis is not the same as people who have watched shows and can recommend it or dismiss it based on actually watching the show.
I hope Fubuki gets her time to shine in one of the specials. Hear appearance was basically a cameo despite being on the poster
I think Aldnoah is alright if you stop after the first 12 episodes. Just let that be the end of the show

We're gonna need to define "popular enough" here. Attack on Titan is still more popular than OPM, and season 2 is only now on the horizon.

But AnimeGAF's taste is trash, or so I've been told.

Yep it's true. We only like Kill me Baby and K-On.

Yo, wait, I said trash.
I grew up on Pokemon and Dragonball, never really found a great anime, watched Kill la Kill and found it meh. Attack on Titan was great, but One Punch Man takes it to a whole 'nother level. Excited for season 2, hopefully the wait is less than it is for Attack on Titan's season 2 to start.
OPM is the Undertale of anime.

Eh, is Saitama a gag character, though? His powers don't change for the plot or for the humor. Being practically invincible doesn't make him a gag character, does it? He's just super strong, fast and durable with no discernible limit. When I think of gag characters the Mask, Freakazoid and Bugs Bunny come to mind.
Unrelatedly, I really enjoyed Atomic's scenes:
fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck

fffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffUCK I hope all this mad hype is enough for a 2nd season. Hope they don't rush it though, would rather get another hype-ass 2nd season on-par (if possible, though from the vague webcomic-readers it sounds like it will indeed be hype AF) with the first one.
Good shit Madhouse/Murata/ONE, this is some damn good shit. AOTY/10

Haha even though Boros wiped out an entire city and killed a bunch of people, I still felt bad for him in the end. :[
Kill la Kill was voted as the second best anime of 2013. So we know that's a fact.
Who's talking about episode synopsis? I'm talking about the show synopsis. It's enough to know if the concept will attract you or not.

sorry, meant to say show synopsis didn't notice that slip. And a show synopsis is NOT enough to watch a show or movie unless you go in blind to everything in which case you shouldn't really pinpoint gaf recommendations but reviews in general. You could read something that sounds interesting in concept but the execution ends up being incredibly mediocre. The point of asking for recommendations or reading a review is that you cut out the chance of the film/tv show being shitty even if the premise sounded cool.

Considering the sheer love people are showing for OPM, asking for recommendations based on their love of it and having fallen out of anime only really having watched shows like an Attack on Titan or new Dragonball occasionally, I don't believe a general consensus by people whose legitimate Anime of the Year contenders are Shirobako or Non Non Biyori will send people out too happy.
Especially considering the decidedly different tone regarding OPM in this thread VS the General Anime thread. This isn't a slight or disparage against AnimeGAF, tastes are tastes.

That's because the people who are still watching it in this thread didn't drop it, so they are obviously more fond of it.
OPM will win AOTY, but Shirobako and Non Non Biyori are great shows too.
I've never heard of Non Non Biyori until now and an image search makes it seem like something I wouldn't be into, but what's wrong with Shirobako?
High Class Anime about anime production, not for plebs.

This thread in is meant for OPM fans, that general anime thread are for people who watch all kinds of anime. Even then there are enough of us down there who loved OPM, both newbies and veterans alike. Issues come with people who are more knowledgeable of the medium so their nitpicks will be things that folks like me can't really pinpoint or think about because we're so focused on the show and entertainment.
And it's not really an accurate or fair representation of AnimeGAF as even when we have people who come in asking for recommendations of action shows you're implying they'd go
"One Punch Man is trash, just watch Shirobako instead and thank us later"
That's not the case. A recent example was a guy came in asked for an action show after watching I believe Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood, and we took him to a show that is great for action and effects from the same director.

Absolutely nothing. I wasn't disparaging those shows, I was just saying that it shows a distinct separation of taste in what types of shows people in these two threads enjoy.
Let me repeat that very clearly, because I don't think people got is; there is absolutely NOTHING wrong with either of those shows and I wasn't making a quality or judgement call. I was illustrating taste difference.
